International Holocaust Remembrance Day with Mandy Gonzalez; Israel's COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout and the Palestinians

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Museum of Jewish Heritage held a special event, "18 Voices: A Liberation Day Reading Of Young Writers' Diaries From The Holocaust ." We sit down with Broadway actress Mandy Gonzalez, who read diary excerpts during the virtual reading, and Alexandra Zapruder, curator of " 18 Voices" and author of " Salvaged Pages." Then, we speak to Lahav Harkov, Senior Contributing Editor and Diplomatic Correspondent for The Jerusalem Post , about Israel's record-shattering vaccine rollout and the controversy over access for Palestinians. Finally, to close out the episode, past president of AJC Westchester/Fairfield Beverly Block Rosenbaum shares the story of her mother, a survivor of multiple concentration camps who was told by a Nazi officer that she was "too pretty to be a Jew," to which she bravely replied: "I am a Jew and I'm proud of it." ___________________ Episode Lineup (00:45) Mandy Gonzalez (11:28) Alexandra Zapruder (27:41) Lahav Harkov (38:15) Beverly Block Rosenbaum (43:32) Manya Brachear Pashman (46:48) Seffi Kogen ___________________ Show notes: Watch Museum of Jewish Heritage's 18 Voices event Transcript of Interview with Lahav Harkov
